    there’s no reason to be scared UNLESS your puppy is horribly, horribly ill.  don’t panic!  we’re here to help you. 🙂

    first things first: get that puppy to a vet today or tomorrow (ideally today).  get started on a vaccination schedule.  take a fresh poop sample in a ziplock baggie – it should be very fresh, like the last poop before you go.

    secondly, invest in a crate.  crates are immensely useful tools that help with housebreaking…and trust me, if you have never had a dog before it’ll be a LIFESAVER.

3yr old Don Sphynx has really bad URI, vet gave 2 weeks of synulox (amoxicilin) with no improvement, so conuclide it mus be viral. Just started l lysine, for a few days and his symptoms appear to be getting worse. his eyes are clear but hes deeply congested and sneezing considerably more mucus everywhere, and sneezing frequently. does the l lysine make things initially appear to be getting worse? As in, loosening the mucus that’s there? Or will he need other treatment? he hasn’t had any booster jabs for a long time since a kitten.

    I really can’t see how the deep fryer oil could have caused this skin problem.  However, I think she has a significant skin problem and needs to see a vet before it gets worse.

I’ve Been Crate Training My New Dog, She’s A Year Old, And She’s Been Doing…

I’ve been crate training my new dog, she’s a year old, and she’s been doing well. I took the crate apart to clean it and as soon as her blanket was put in it she got in and went to sleep. I had to put it together around her. My question is a matter of consistency. My schedule is pretty consistent as a student, but I have a lab once a week right in the middle of the day. Should I only crate her when I’m gone for those two hours or should I do it every day at that time?

    agreed – consistency is important during the training process.  once she’s used to it and goes in willingly, i’d say feel free to scale back, but for now keep things to a daily practice.

Hi, my dog was spade in December but she won’t stop trying to hump our legs, every single day she try’s and if you push her off she gets nasty and I’m worried she will bite one of us

    this is a training issue, rather than a hormone issue.  i would work on obedience training with her.  rigid boundaries and expectations should help with this issue.

    if you feel this is beyond your abilities, please consult a good balanced trainer.  you should be able to get a referral from your vet.

    please neuter him.  that’s the answer to your problem – neuter him.  he doesn’t need to breed, and if he is UNABLE to breed, then he should be neutered to ensure he has a happy life.

  2. debra yuhasz

    Since he’s unable to breed you might as well get him neutered. He will be a much less frustrated dog. An intact dog smells a female in heat and if he can’t get to her or is unsuccessful in his attempts it causes anxiety and frustration. It’s cruel for him to spend his whole life that way. I don’t believe there is a solution to his problem, so neutering is the kindest thing you can do for him.

  3. PK Dennis

    Debra and Laura are correct, a dog with conditions such as this should NOT be bred.  This dog obviously has underlying conditions that are undesirable in future generations!  Have him neutered and enjoy his companionship.

I Recently Adopted A Dog, She’s A Year Old Basenji/Lab Mix (two Very Contradicting Breeds…

I recently adopted a dog, she’s a year old Basenji/Lab mix (two very contradicting breeds in terms of behavior). I’m having the worst time trying to potty train her. I’ve tried so many different methods but she refuses to go potty outside. She literally has no warning signs. She already paces and sniffs like its her calling in life. She squats after she already starts going. I have no idea when she needs to go. She will not go potty outside. She acts like grass is her personal enemy and will lay on the sidewalk instead. I’ve tried taking her in and out, I’ve tried waiting her out. We walked in the park in hot weather for five hours and she peed on the floor when we came back inside. Training her to go outside is becoming a hassle that’s frustrating and depressing both of us, should I just give up and house train her to use pee pads or litter instead? We just have a hard time getting outside fast enough with her aversion to stairs and the elevator and there’s a power struggle once we’re outside. How do I react to bad behavior without making her scared of me?

    so, you should avoid punishing for toilet behavior in the house.  it sounds like she really just doesn’t know the rules yet.  

    these two links are pretty similar and i’d read both.  they should help.

    remember, be consistent.  good luck.  housebreaking is the biggest pain in the butt regardless of the age of the dog.

    oh, one thing…make sure you’re feeding meals rather than just leaving food out for her. meals will help you to better schedule her toilet runs. try to feed a high quality food, as well.

    Thank you so much! Those help a lot!
